I decided to compile all of my Andor fics in one place for easy reference. I’ll update this list as I post new works. All of these are Mon Mothma-centric with some POVs from associated characters.
🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?
I answered this one in another ask but I thought of a second fic that qualifies, which is my fic Escape. This one I really struggled with, and since it was for an Exchange I had a deadline. I remember writing this down to the wire, and by some miracle I got it done. The motivation that a deadline gives your brain lol.
🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?
The one that immediately comes to mind is Clandestine, which I spent a month and a half straight on. The number of times I repeated Luthen’s lines out loud trying to get them right 😅I nearly shelved this fic several times and it gave me a new appreciation for Luthen writers.
💖 What made you start writing?
In general - it was something I did as a kid on the suggestion of some family members and as I got older, I just kept writing. I started writing fic around 14 when I read about it in a POTC magazine. 😂
❌ What’s a trope you will never write?
Probably anything relating to a nuclear family/pregnancy of any kind. Say, something like Person A gets pregnant from Person B during a one night stand and they end up getting married. Just not my cup of tea.
🦅 Do you outline fics or fly by the seat of your pants?
Depends on the fic! For shorter ones it can be a bit of a mixed bag, sometimes I have rough outlines or sections of text that come to mind before I write the fic that I’ve stashed away somewhere. Other times I get an idea and dive right into writing it.
For longer fics I like to structure things out more to give myself guide posts. The path between them can be whatever I like, but I need certain markers to make sure that I don’t get lost in my own writing. Long multi-chap fics I will do more intense outlines for, but those are also fics I don’t write as often because they take a lot of time and energy.
🧠 Pick a character, and I’ll tell you my favorite headcanon for them.
I think the character choice is up to me on this one, so I’ll go with Mon Mothma.
I headcanon Mon as queer, attracted to both men and women, but she’s often restricted to heterosexual relationships due to the surrounding political ecosystem.
fuck it, I’m romanticizing underrated ao3 works now. 8,000 word fics with only 13 kudos, even after 5 months. multi-chaptered works with only 11 comments from the same 3 people and the author themself. incredibly specific works featuring OC’s mingling with canon characters that only get 5 kudos. rare-pair fics. gift works that are literally ONLY for the receiver.
northern hemisphere babes we made it to the longest night of the year. we made it. for the next 6 months, every day will give us a little more daylight than the last. let’s go. take my hand. climb out of the darkness with me
[ID: A video recording of Bisan Owda, filming herself standing still and speaking in front of a car underneath the morning sky in Gaza, with the sun visible above her head. Loud sirens can be heard around her as she says:
“Hey, everyone. This is Bisan from Gaza. We’re still alive, and we wish you a merry Christmas in the Christmas eve. Wish you a merry Christmas despite the churches of Gaza are closed, full of displaced people, and surrounded with snipers. We wish you a merry Christmas despite the children, women, men, Christians and Muslims of Gaza are murdered and under genocide. We wish you a merry Christmas despite that we cannot exchange gifts or spend our holidays in our homes because they are completely destroyed, and merry Christmas despite there are hundreds of killed, decomposed bodies in the the north of Gaza Strip in the streets, at least 137 them are field executed by the Israeli soldiers in front of their children. Merry Christmas, but pray for Gaza.”

Please think about why these videos are coming out in English. In your tongue, so that you can understand them. Don’t ignore them or get tired of seeing them or call them guilt-trippy. Don’t stop talking about Palestine. Make Palestine impossible to ignore. Even at the cost of “disrupting” your celebrations.
